Street planning at the local level.
I recently had the great joy of participating in the civil engagement process at the Shadyside Connector virtual meeting hosted by the City of Pittsburgh’s Department of Mobility and Infrastructure. The video of the night’s meeting can be found here and the slides can be found here.
This meeting, and the project that is its focus, captures so many different aspects of what the planning process looks like, from the high level concept, to on the ground data collection, public engagement, comment periods and so on, that I thought it offered the perfect opportunity to give a “real-world” application for many of the statistical ideas that are also discussed on this blog. This project is currently ongoing, so there will be more to write about as time goes on. For now we’ll focus on the background leading up to this meeting, the proposed changes to the neighborhood’s streets and the plan for implementing these changes in the years to come.
